B-5 Anaheim Gazette THURSDAY MORNING, FEB. 6, 1953 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Check your Claim For Dependency Tax Official Says Robert A. Riddell, director of Internal Revenue, today advised all persons who intend to claim dependency exemptions on their income tax returns to be certain that they comply with all the conditions that entitle them to the claim. He stated that a sample survey on a ration-wide basis indicates that almost two and a half million of the fifty-five million taxpayers in the United States probably make errors on their returns in this respect. Riddell laid down five tests which must be met before a dependency exemption can be properly claimed. They are: 1. The taxpayer must have provided more than half the cost of supporting the dependent for the year 1952. 2. The dependent's gross income during 1952 must have been less than $600.00. 3. The dependent must be closely related to the taxpayer. 4. The dependent must be a citizen of the United States, or a resident of the United States Mexico or Canada. 5. The dependent, if married does not make a joint return with his or her spouse. Asked to define a close relative the director stated that the law includes a child or descendant of the child; a stepchild (but not the descendant of the stepchild); brother; sister; half-brother; half-sister; stepbrother; stepsister; parent; grandparent or other direct ancestor; stepfather; stepmother; uncle; aunt; nephew; niece; father-in-law; mother - in - law.

BROADWAY Adopted Children Assn. to Hold Benefit Dance With host of movie and TV stars scheduled to appear, the Adopted Children's Association is sponsoring a benefit dance Tuesday, February 10th at the Riverside Rancho, 3213 Riverside Drive. Dude Martin's band, along with his complete T-V show, will furnish music and entertainment. The festivities are scheduled to begin at 8:30 p.m. The public is invited and admission will be $1.25 per person. Tickets may be purchased at the door. Statistics show that 17% of married couples remain childless. On the other hand, there are thousands of children who might be available for adoption in many of those childless homes. If our California adoption laws were brought up to date, it is for this purpose that the Adopted Children's Association, a non-profit, non-sectarian organization chartered in 1948, exists. The proceeds of the dance will be used to further the promotion of better adoption laws in our state. Among the many guest stars who will appear at the dance are Tex Williams, Jimmy Wakely, Tex Ritter, Eddie Dean, Cliffie Stone, Tennessee Ernie, Merle 'Travis' Squeking' Deacon, Dick Lane, Great Gildersleeve, Max Terhune and Harry Rodcay. Not only those who attend dance and be hilariously entertained by top-notch stars, but they will have the satisfaction of knowing that they are contributing to a worthy cause—helping kids less fortunate than their own.

Chartres. The dinner, scheduled for 7:30 this evening, will be held in the Youth Center. Speaker of the evening will be the Rev. Alec Nichols, Methodist minister from Santa Ana, who quipped: "You fellows are not Optimists, you're crazy!" three years ago when he first heard of the club's building project. Harold Thomas is chairman of the donors' dinner. President J. W. Stephen will be master of ceremonies.

NEUBAUER There is some soul of goodness in things evil. Would men observe it out. Shakespeare. INSPIRATIONAL — Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.—I Thes. 5:21. GARDENING—Are you going to plant a garden in your back yard? Seems like everyone wants to get out and grub in the good earth in the spring. Most Anaheimers are already out on weekends and evenings trimming hedges, pruning shrubs and cutting lawns. Strange that the task doesn't seem like a chore the first time you do it in the spring, but when the summer wears on it becomes drudgery. Radishes, lettuce, onions and stuff like that there taste so much better when it's home grown. If you've got a bermuda patch why not plant a watermelon vine and you'll be surprised which plant will win the battle for survival. It won't be the bermuda! And if you aren't one of those who relishes pushing a lawn mower, why not plant a dicondra lawn. Its initial cost is well worth the labor it saves. In fact, dicondra practically is a volunteer plant where a dozen years ago it was almost unknown. PROFILES—John Vuksonovich. The handsome ex-gyrene telephone worker lives close to the good earth. He's getting ready to plant his annual tomato crop. "I did all right last year, but I don't know about this year. Farming is a gamble." ... Edwin (Bud) Tyreman, Another personable Anaheimer who had the reserve jitters a few years ago, but like a lot of others the uncertainty wore off. There really wasn't anything to worry about. Clifford (Red) Potts. One of Anaheim's most colorful personalities. This ex-service man had a little trouble when who will appear at the dance are Tex Williams, Jimmy Wakely, Tex Ritter, Eddie Dean, Cliffie Stone, Tennessee Ernie, Merle Travis, Squeaking' Descon, Dick Lane, Great Gildersleeve, Max Terhune and Harry Rodcay. Not only those who attend, dance and be hilariously entertained by top-notch stars, but they will have the satisfaction of knowing that they are contributing to a worthy cause—helping kids less fortunate than their own.

Tom Henry's Anaheim Cold Storage firm is expanding its operations rapidly in Fullerton. In fact the cold storage firm had to lease a packing-house pre-cooler to store a client's potatoes. WEATHER—The elements have been going on a rampage; Europe has been especially hard hit. The thermometer almost hit bottom back east. But, here in Anaheim, spring-like weather prevails. Anaheimers can't help but remember their own flood nearly twenty years ago. In fact, weather has been so nice hereabouts that a lot of Anaheimers have gotten out their fishing gear and begun to daydream about "that big one" that got away last year... Incidentally many flowering peach trees are in bloom lending color to the local scene. LINES-O-TYPE — Rudy Castillas, the Orange Coast baseballer, was slightly injured in an auto accident. He'll be OK when it's time to play ball... Herman Kraft, a transplanted Anaheimer, is doing wonders for the Orange Coast college campus. As head gardner he has a big job to keep the turf and shrubbery green. The prevailing wind makes his job extra difficult... Walter Knott was the most logical choice to head the Road to Romance Ass'n. He made one of Orange County's leading tourist attractions... Bill Purdy thinks it will be a long time before anyone equals the record of the Valencia Hi Bee too tallers of two years ago. They went through a whole season without being recorded on. Few teams can boast such a record.
